Your turnover dashboard is behind schedule. Again. Why? This course teaches you to define project planning terms (milestone, dependency, risk), build a simple Gantt chart for an HR analytics deployment, and document the risks that derail rollouts before they become emergencies. You'll apply lessons from real cases where payroll systems launched without testing and cost millions. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, you'll draft stakeholder updates and risk mitigation plans—then verify the AI's output matches your actual data. Through realistic role plays where you present project plans to steering committees and coach dialogues where you navigate competing priorities and resource constraints, you'll develop the planning discipline that separates successful deployments from headline disasters. Designed for HR professionals, people analytics practitioners, and anyone tasked with deploying HR technology. No project management background required. Access to free ChatGPT or Claude recommended.
